Anthem (AmazonClassics Edition)
By: Ayn Rand
Sample not available
description
In a dire future following the Great Rebirth, the word “I” is unspeakable. Individualism has been erased in favor of collectivism. Any act that is not in service to the group is forbidden. And self-reliance is a punishable transgression. But for an anonymous rebellious street sweeper, that offense is all that stands between the authoritarian state and freedom.
A hymn to egoism, Ayn Rand’s dystopian parable is the embodiment of her core tenets of self-sufficiency and fighting against the oppression of “We.”
Revised edition: Previously published as Anthem, this edition of Anthem (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
